Dragnet presents “Big Roll,” episode 159, originally broadcast on June 26, 1952. This NBC radio drama stars Jack Webb as Detective Sergeant Joe Friday, with Vic Perrin as his partner, Sergeant Frank Smith.

Assigned to Homicide, Friday and Smith investigate the violent abduction of a man outside a downtown Los Angeles bar. With bloodstains at the scene, a gray sedan, and few leads to begin with, the detectives follow witness accounts and physical evidence in a race to identify and find the missing man. Written by James Moser, the episode was sponsored by Fatima cigarettes.

Dragnet presents the original broadcast with a newly produced contextual introduction, a short closing announcement, and gently cleaned and mastered audio for a more consistent listening experience.
